Toilet chip repair in High Blantyre without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for High Blantyre. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G72 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in High Blantyre
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in High Blantyre
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to High Blantyre?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to High Blantyre for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
